Mrs. Fred Niemann
  Word was received here Monday morning that Mrs. Fred Niemann of Grafton
had died suddenly the night before of heart disease.  She had not been ill,
and the family had no premonition that she was troubled with the disease. 
She is survived by her husband and six children.  Mrs. Niemann’s mother who
lives in this village, Fred Schulenberg and his sisters left for there via
Gibbon, to attend the funeral which took place yesterday afternoon from the
German Lutheran church there, of which deceased was a member.  Owing to the
relatives being away from town, we were unable to give full particulars,
but will endeavor to do so next week.
